<a name="GSettings.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <a class="link" href="GSettings.html" title="GSettings"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a> class provides a convenient API for storing and retrieving
application settings.</p>
<p>Reads and writes can be considered to be non-blocking.  Reading
settings with <a class="link" href="GSettings.html" title="GSettings"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a> is typically extremely fast: on
approximately the same order of magnitude (but slower than) a
<a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Hash-Tables.html#GHashTable"><span class="type">GHashTable</span></a> lookup.  Writing settings is also extremely fast in terms
of time to return to your application, but can be extremely expensive
for other threads and other processes.  Many settings backends
(including dconf) have lazy initialisation which means in the common
case of the user using their computer without modifying any settings
a lot of work can be avoided.  For dconf, the D-Bus service doesn't
even need to be started in this case.  For this reason, you should
only ever modify <a class="link" href="GSettings.html" title="GSettings"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a> keys in response to explicit user action.
Particular care should be paid to ensure that modifications are not
made during startup -- for example, when setting the initial value
of preferences widgets.  The built-in <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-bind" title="g_settings_bind ()"><code class="function">g_settings_bind()</code></a> functionality
is careful not to write settings in response to notify signals as a
result of modifications that it makes to widgets.</p>
<p>When creating a GSettings instance, you have to specify a schema
that describes the keys in your settings and their types and default
values, as well as some other information.</p>
<p>Normally, a schema has as fixed path that determines where the settings
are stored in the conceptual global tree of settings. However, schemas
can also be '<a class="link" href="GSettings.html#gsettings-relocatable" title="Relocatable schemas">relocatable</a>', i.e. not equipped with
a fixed path. This is
useful e.g. when the schema describes an 'account', and you want to be
able to store a arbitrary number of accounts.</p>
<p>Paths must start with and end with a forward slash character ('/')
and must not contain two sequential slash characters.  Paths should
be chosen based on a domain name associated with the program or
library to which the settings belong.  Examples of paths are
"/org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/" and "/ca/desrt/dconf-editor/".
Paths should not start with "/apps/", "/desktop/" or "/system/" as
they often did in GConf.</p>
<p>Unlike other configuration systems (like GConf), GSettings does not
restrict keys to basic types like strings and numbers. GSettings stores
values as <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-GVariant.html#GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a>, and allows any <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-GVariantType.html#GVariantType"><span class="type">GVariantType</span></a> for keys. Key names
are restricted to lowercase characters, numbers and '-'. Furthermore,
the names must begin with a lowercase character, must not end
with a '-', and must not contain consecutive dashes.</p>
<p>Similar to GConf, the default values in GSettings schemas can be
localized, but the localized values are stored in gettext catalogs
and looked up with the domain that is specified in the
<code class="literal">gettext-domain</code> attribute of the &lt;schemalist&gt; or &lt;schema&gt;
elements and the category that is specified in the <code class="literal">l10n</code> attribute of
the &lt;default&gt; element. The string which is translated includes all text in
the &lt;default&gt; element, including any surrounding quotation marks.</p>
<p>The <code class="literal">l10n</code> attribute must be set to <code class="literal">messages</code> or <code class="literal">time</code>, and sets the
<a class="ulink" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Aspects.html#index-locale-categories-1" target="_top">locale category for
translation</a>.
The <code class="literal">messages</code> category should be used by default; use <code class="literal">time</code> for
translatable date or time formats. A translation comment can be added as an
XML comment immediately above the &lt;default&gt; element — it is recommended to
add these comments to aid translators understand the meaning and
implications of the default value. An optional translation <code class="literal">context</code>
attribute can be set on the &lt;default&gt; element to disambiguate multiple
defaults which use the same string.</p>

      </tr>

</div>

<p></p>
<p>Translations of default values must remain syntactically valid serialized
<a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-GVariant.html#GVariant"><span class="type">GVariants</span></a> (e.g. retaining any surrounding quotation marks) or runtime
errors will occur.</p>
<p>GSettings uses schemas in a compact binary form that is created
by the <a href="glib-compile-schemas.html">glib-compile-schemas</a>
utility. The input is a schema description in an XML format.</p>
<p>A DTD for the gschema XML format can be found here:
<a class="ulink" href="https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/gschema.dtd" target="_top">gschema.dtd</a></p>
<p>The <a href="glib-compile-schemas.html">glib-compile-schemas</a> tool expects schema
files to have the extension <code class="literal">.gschema.xml</code>.</p>
<p>At runtime, schemas are identified by their id (as specified in the
id attribute of the &lt;schema&gt; element). The convention for schema
ids is to use a dotted name, similar in style to a D-Bus bus name,
e.g. "org.gnome.SessionManager". In particular, if the settings are
for a specific service that owns a D-Bus bus name, the D-Bus bus name
and schema id should match. For schemas which deal with settings not
associated with one named application, the id should not use
StudlyCaps, e.g. "org.gnome.font-rendering".</p>
<p>In addition to <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-GVariant.html#GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> types, keys can have types that have
enumerated types. These can be described by a &lt;choice&gt;,
&lt;enum&gt; or &lt;flags&gt; element, as seen in the
example. The underlying type of such a key
is string, but you can use <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-get-enum" title="g_settings_get_enum ()"><code class="function">g_settings_get_enum()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-set-enum" title="g_settings_set_enum ()"><code class="function">g_settings_set_enum()</code></a>,
<a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-get-flags" title="g_settings_get_flags ()"><code class="function">g_settings_get_flags()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-set-flags" title="g_settings_set_flags ()"><code class="function">g_settings_set_flags()</code></a> access the numeric values
corresponding to the string value of enum and flags keys.</p>

<p>Default values are defined in the schemas that get installed by
an application. Sometimes, it is necessary for a vendor or distributor
to adjust these defaults. Since patching the XML source for the schema
is inconvenient and error-prone,
<a href="glib-compile-schemas.html">glib-compile-schemas</a> reads so-called vendor
override' files. These are keyfiles in the same directory as the XML
schema sources which can override default values. The schema id serves
as the group name in the key file, and the values are expected in
serialized GVariant form, as in the following example:</p>

<a name="id-1.4.19.2.9.26"></a><h4>Binding</h4>
<p>A very convenient feature of GSettings lets you bind <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject"><span class="type">GObject</span></a> properties
directly to settings, using <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-bind" title="g_settings_bind ()"><code class="function">g_settings_bind()</code></a>. Once a GObject property
has been bound to a setting, changes on either side are automatically
propagated to the other side. GSettings handles details like mapping
between GObject and GVariant types, and preventing infinite cycles.</p>
<p>This makes it very easy to hook up a preferences dialog to the
underlying settings. To make this even more convenient, GSettings
looks for a boolean property with the name "sensitivity" and
automatically binds it to the writability of the bound setting.
If this 'magic' gets in the way, it can be suppressed with the
<a class="link" href="GSettings.html#G-SETTINGS-BIND-NO-SENSITIVITY:CAPS"><span class="type">G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY</span></a> flag.</p>

constructed dynamically from a constant prefix plus some form of instance
identifier; but they must still be valid GSettings paths. Paths could also
be constant and used with a globally installed schema originating from a
dependency library.</p>
<p>For example, a relocatable schema could be used to store geometry information
for different windows in an application. If the schema ID was
<code class="literal">org.foo.MyApp.Window</code>, it could be instantiated for paths
<code class="literal">/org/foo/MyApp/main/</code>, <code class="literal">/org/foo/MyApp/document-1/</code>,
<code class="literal">/org/foo/MyApp/document-2/</code>, etc. If any of the paths are well-known
they can be specified as &lt;child&gt; elements in the parent schema, e.g.:</p>

<p>GSettings comes with autotools integration to simplify compiling and
installing schemas. To add GSettings support to an application, add the
following to your <code class="literal">configure.ac</code>:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">GLIB_GSETTINGS</pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>In the appropriate <code class="literal">Makefile.am</code>, use the following snippet to compile and
install the named schema:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1

        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">gsettings_SCHEMAS <span class="gtkdoc opt">=</span> org<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>foo<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>MyApp<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>gschema<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>xml

&#64;GSETTINGS_RULES&#64;</pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>No changes are needed to the build system to mark a schema XML file for
translation. Assuming it sets the <code class="literal">gettext-domain</code> attribute, a schema may
be marked for translation by adding it to <code class="literal">POTFILES.in</code>, assuming gettext
0.19 is in use (the preferred method for translation):</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">data<span class="gtkdoc opt">/</span>org<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>foo<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>MyApp<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>gschema<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>xml</pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>Alternatively, if intltool 0.50.1 is in use:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting"><span class="gtkdoc opt">[</span>type<span class="gtkdoc opt">:</span> gettext<span class="gtkdoc opt">/</span>gsettings<span class="gtkdoc opt">]</span>data<span class="gtkdoc opt">/</span>org<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>foo<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>MyApp<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>gschema<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>xml</pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>GSettings will use gettext to look up translations for the &lt;summary&gt; and
&lt;description&gt; elements, and also any &lt;default&gt; elements which have a <code class="literal">l10n</code>
attribute set. Translations must not be included in the <code class="literal">.gschema.xml</code> file
by the build system, for example by using intltool XML rules with a
<code class="literal">.gschema.xml.in</code> template.</p>
<p>If an enumerated type defined in a C header file is to be used in a GSettings
schema, it can either be defined manually using an &lt;enum&gt; element in the
schema XML, or it can be extracted automatically from the C header. This
approach is preferred, as it ensures the two representations are always
synchronised. To do so, add the following to the relevant <code class="literal">Makefile.am</code>:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1
2</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE <span class="gtkdoc opt">=</span> org<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>foo<span class="gtkdoc opt">.</span>MyApp

      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p><code class="literal">gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE</code> specifies the schema namespace for the enum files,
which are specified in <code class="literal">gsettings_ENUM_FILES</code>. This will generate a
<code class="literal">org.foo.MyApp.enums.xml</code> file containing the extracted enums, which will be
automatically included in the schema compilation, install and uninstall
rules. It should not be committed to version control or included in
<code class="literal">EXTRA_DIST</code>.</p>

<p>It should be extremely rare that you ever want to use this function.
It is made available for advanced use-cases (such as plugin systems
that want to provide access to schemas loaded from custom locations,
etc).</p>
<p>At the most basic level, a <a class="link" href="GSettings.html" title="GSettings"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a> object is a pure composition of
4 things: a <a class="link" href="gio-GSettingsSchema-GSettingsSchemaSource.html#GSettingsSchema"><span class="type">GSettingsSchema</span></a>, a <a class="link" href="GSettingsBackend.html" title="GSettingsBackend"><span class="type">GSettingsBackend</span></a>, a path within that
backend, and a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GMainContext"><span class="type">GMainContext</span></a> to which signals are dispatched.</p>
<p>This constructor therefore gives you full control over constructing
<a class="link" href="GSettings.html" title="GSettings"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a> instances.  The first 3 parameters are given directly as
<em class="parameter"><code>schema</code></em>
, <em class="parameter"><code>backend</code></em>
 and <em class="parameter"><code>path</code></em>
, and the main context is taken from the
thread-default (as per <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-new" title="g_settings_new ()"><code class="function">g_settings_new()</code></a>).</p>
<p>If <em class="parameter"><code>backend</code></em>
 is <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> then the default backend is used.</p>
<p>If <em class="parameter"><code>path</code></em>
 is <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> then the path from the schema is used.  It is an

<p>Gets the value that is stored at <em class="parameter"><code>key</code></em>
 in <em class="parameter"><code>settings</code></em>
, subject to
application-level validation/mapping.</p>
<p>You should use this function when the application needs to perform
some processing on the value of the key (for example, parsing).  The
<em class="parameter"><code>mapping</code></em>
 function performs that processing.  If the function
indicates that the processing was unsuccessful (due to a parse error,
for example) then the mapping is tried again with another value.</p>
<p>This allows a robust 'fall back to defaults' behaviour to be
implemented somewhat automatically.</p>
<p>The first value that is tried is the user's setting for the key.  If
the mapping function fails to map this value, other values may be
tried in an unspecified order (system or site defaults, translated
schema default values, untranslated schema default values, etc).</p>
<p>If the mapping function fails for all possible values, one additional
attempt is made: the mapping function is called with a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> value.
If the mapping function still indicates failure at this point then
the application will be aborted.</p>
<p>The result parameter for the <em class="parameter"><code>mapping</code></em>
 function is pointed to a
<a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Basic-Types.html#gpointer"><span class="type">gpointer</span></a> which is initially set to <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>.  The same pointer is given
to each invocation of <em class="parameter"><code>mapping</code></em>
.  The final value of that <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Basic-Types.html#gpointer"><span class="type">gpointer</span></a> is
what is returned by this function.  <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> is valid; it is returned
just as any other value would be.</p>

supported by the default mapping functions.</p>
<p>Unless the <em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em>
 include <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#G-SETTINGS-BIND-NO-SENSITIVITY:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY</code></a>, this
function also establishes a binding between the writability of
<em class="parameter"><code>key</code></em>
 and the "sensitive" property of <em class="parameter"><code>object</code></em>
 (if <em class="parameter"><code>object</code></em>
 has
a boolean property by that name). See <a class="link" href="GSettings.html#g-settings-bind-writable" title="g_settings_bind_writable ()"><code class="function">g_settings_bind_writable()</code></a>
for more details about writable bindings.</p>
<p>Note that the lifecycle of the binding is tied to the object,
and that you can have only one binding per object property.
If you bind the same property twice on the same object, the second
binding overrides the first one.</p>

to this signal if you are interested in viewing groups of changes
before they are split out into multiple emissions of the
"writable-changed" signal.  For most use cases it is more
